DIRECTIONS:
- To make the sauce, peel and chop the onion and garlic. Seed and dice the bell peppers. Trim and dice the zucchini. Wipe and halve the mushrooms.
- Place all of the vegetables in a saucepan and stir in the chopped tomatoes and tomato paste. Add the dried herbs, sugar, and plenty of seasoning. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat the broiler. Trim away any excess fat from the chops, then season on both sides, and rub the dried mixed herbs. Cook the chops for 5 minutes, then turn over, and cook for a further 6-7 minutes until cooked through.
- Drain the pork chops on absorbent paper towels and serve accompanied with the sauce and baked potatoes, if wished.
